Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow By. Mr. Hool

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but we’ve only had one snow day this year, haven’t we? Who doesn’t love a snow day? Stu-dents love them, teachers love them, we all love them! Sadly, our good buddy the snow day hasn’t paid us enough visits this year! We’ve been incredibly lucky the last few years. We’ve had several snow days as well as cold days #ThanksJackFrost! Last year, we were even off for a few days after the Super Bowl be-cause of how heavily we got rocked with snow! It was awesome! It snowed so much on Super Bowl Sunday that it took Mr. Haddad 45 minutes to get home from a Super Bowl party that was two blocks away from his house! Bottom line: we need to make another snow day happen! I’m not a superstitious person at all, but for a snow day, I’m will-ing to try anything! Check out some of the most popular snow day superstitions:

-Put your PJs on inside out and backwards -Throw ice cubes out the window -Yell "Snow Day!" into the freezer -Put a penny under your pillow -Put a white crayon on every windowsill in your house -Run around your dining room 12 times -Put a spoon under your bed -Drink root beer the night before with a straw -Wear a colored sock on your left foot but not on your right

-Do a snow dance! Gather up your friends for a stronger force!

Give them a try, and maybe, just maybe, together we can catch another elusive snow day! Chances are that these superstitions don’t truly work and you’ll probably just end up being thought of as a raving lunatic by your family members, but just in case, if you hear a winter storm is brewing, it can’t hurt to give them a shot! If we end up with a snow day, we’ll all appreciate your efforts very much. Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Snow day!

Blacks Ops III

DLC 1 - Awakening

By - Michael Landers

The new Call Of Duty: Black Ops III DLC (called “Awakening”) feature four new mul-tiplayer maps and one new zombies map to continue the trilogy of Dempsey, Rich-tofen, Nikolai, and Takeo.

Gauntlet - This map is featuring a three lane design with each lane consisting of a different environment, which transports you through a wet jungle, sub-zero arctic zone, and an urban alleyway, all in one map.

Splash - This map takes you through a vi-brant abandoned water park consisting of water slides, lazy rivers, a pirate ship, and a pool for under-water combat.

Rise - This construction zone is a map with under-water combat, inside and out war-fare, and second story firefights. This map is open and has plenty of wall-run spots for fast and long-range battles.

Skyjacked - This Remake of “Hijacked” from Call of Duty: Black Ops II, is re-imagined for the new movement system of Black Ops III. This floating police carrier holds the same over and under-ground combat as the original map for Black Ops II.

Der Eisendrache - Follow Dempsey, Richtofen, Nikolai, and Takeo into “The Iron Dragon” as the characters face off against zombies to stop the earth from being de-stroyed by themselves.

Marceline By Rylee Pulice

Marceline is a vampire but she doesn't drink blood.

She’s also known as Marceline the vampire queen.

She is from the T.V show ‘’Adventure Time.’’ She

lives in the land of Ooo with her best friend Princess

Bubblegum. Marceline goes on many adventures

with her friends Finn and Jake. In the past, she used

to hunt vampires to save humans from getting their

blood taken out of them. But, while she was out sav-

ing humans she got bitten and turned into a vampire. In the new mini series called

‘’Stakes’’ she does not want to be a vampire any more so she tells PB [princess bub-

blegum]. PB puts Marceline in a machine that makes her human again. But, some-

thing goes wrong, if you want to find out, go watch it for yourself on Cartoon Network.

I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.

2016 Michigan Football Uniforms

By - Michael Landers

With the new Michigan Football season com-ing September 3rd, 2016. The Wolverines will roll out with some new uniforms. The new uniforms will fea-ture the iconic “Michael Jordan” logo on the front and will include new colors and helmets. The new Blue and Maize colors will be very simi-lar to the older uniforms but will have a darker tint to them and will feature the “M” on the shoulder.

The new helmets will be amazing. With the helmets sticking to the original Winged Helmet design and same Blue and Maize colors, but now it will have a matte finish blue and glossy maize. The next season with the Michigan Wolverines will be fantastic. With the new uniforms, we will (hopefully) be awesome. Remember, Go Blue!

All About Pewdiepie By Logan Sosnowski and Tyler Berry

The man who gave YouTube its name, Felix Kjellberg, or as you know him, “PewDiePie”. PewDiePie was born on October 24th, 1989, in Gothenburg, Sweden. He currently resides in Brighton, United Kingdom. He is best known for his “Brofist” that he does at the end of all episodes. PewDiePie started out as any other youtuber would, at the very bottom and beginning of his YouTube career. He also started out as a stand-

offish youtuber who didn’t use much commentary in his videos. Later in his YouTube career, he hit a whopping 1 million subscribers.

He has made a lot of very popular games. Half of PewDiePie’s videos are horror game series. Specifically horror games on Oculus Rift. PewDiePie has taken Oculus to the next level of gaming; playing just about every horror game for the device. Some of the many horror games he has played are, “Amnesia, Layers of Fear, The Last of Us, Until Dawn, and Silent Hill #1”.

His YouTube channel also consists of comedy games. Two of those are “Deadpool” and “Surgeon Simulator”. He currently has 41 MILLION Subscribers, a YouTube world record for a single chan-nel. PewDiePie has worked very hard to get where he is. He posts at least 1 vid-eo every day. Could you imagine how much work and effort that must be? It certainly has paid off though.

His girlfriend’s name is Marzia Bisognin, or especially known as “CutiePie”. Some of his friends are “Jacksepticeye, Cinnamon Toast Ken, Kwebbelkop & Jelly”.

PewDiePie continues to play a variety of games everyday while main-taining to gain almost 3,000 subscribers a day.If you would like to check out his channel, the link is http://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie

Movies Then and now: Willy Wonka/ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

By: Chris Adams

Do any of you remember the movie, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”? Well, recently (not really), the re-make “Charlie and the chocolate factory” came out around 2005/2006. My job is to compare them in:

THE FACTORY DUEL

First, the pros of the movies

Willy Wonka

Had more details from the book like the “Fizzy lifting Drink”, which the remake didn’t have.

The end was the one in the book where he said yes instead of “Why of course not” which was not even in the book

Effects were man made only some Computer graphics

Charlie

Had non-repeating songs

And now, time for the cons:

Charlie

Too much CG, making it look unreal (Literally)

The ending (Completely different from the original)

The entrance to the factory (Again, different)

Lots of cut out scenes that were in the original

Willy Wonka

The Great Glass Elevator Cliffhanger-ish ending

Really, There was not much wrong with the classi

Ok, now for part two, a quick review of the two movies

Willy Wonka

In the beginning of the classic, there were different things then in the new, but the original follows the book. So, kids start running out of school to the candy store, and the candy man starts singing. When the song ends, you see Charlie, the main protagonist, is shown outside the store, sad that he can’t afford anything.

Skipping ahead, Charlie wins a golden ticket, and he goes to the factory. Then a lot of weird things, like the never-ending hallway, start happening. Then, in each room they go to, one by one, the other kids start getting in all sorts of trouble. One kid falls into a river of chocolate, another falls into a garbage shoot, and the effects are really man made, except one part. In the end, Charlie is the last kid and wins the prize.

Charlie

So, the movie skipped ahead, Charlie finds twenty dollars in a gutter and buys a Wonka candy bar with a chance to win a golden ticket. and of course he does. People try to buy the ticket from him, and he refuses to, and runs home to tell them the good news. A day later, he goes to the factory, and they have a really weird intro and the characters on the stage sets on fire. The same things happen to the kids that happened in the other mov-ie except there is more editing involved. Charlie ends up being the last person left, and he asks if his family could come, and Willy Wonka says of course not. The end is sweet because he ends up finding his dad in the middle of nowhere.

Well, I give the remake 5/10 stars and the original 8/10 stars. There were flaws in the remake that made into the final product, and the original had less mistakes and was a little bit more enjoyable than the remake. What do you think? Was the original better than the remake?

SKATE 3

written by: Frank Jarrell

Hey guys and girls that like skateboards and customizing their own boards and skaters. You might want to read this article if you’re one of those kind of people that like seeing boards flip, and spin in mid air. Also if you didn’t read the other two articles I wrote you should try to find them. Sure, they’re about different games but trust me it’s better to explore other games then to stick to one. In this game you can do any skateboarding trick in the book. Also some parts of all of the maps are “glitch fests.” But still all of the DLC’s are cool and crazy. One of the DLCs are at a castle in midnight and in the background you will see a huge moon over the castle, and also this DLC is free. there is a mode called free skate and when you are in free skate you can do cheats like zombies or hover board which takes off your skateboard trucks. Also in free skate you can make mini skate parks around the maps you are free skating at. There are also little mini parks around the maps al-ready there for you. It’s pretty cool to find them even if they aren't that cool that is what free skate is for. If you are stuck on a mission, try it at least twenty times before you give up. Trust me because I have beat this game’s story mode five times so try this method. If you think there is more to the story then buy Skate, Skate 2, and Skate 3 if you like skate games that much. But I wouldn’t do it because each game costs about $40 so if you were going to do that you would spend $120. Hey, but if you want to, go right ahead, be my guest, no one is stopping you, but that’s a lot of money.

Why are most video game movies bad?

by Andrew bard

Movies based on video games are typically considered to be some of the worst rated movies ever, but why? Let's go back and see why.

One example is the really bad Super Mario Bros. movie. On Rotten Tomatoes it gets: 15% and was made for 42 million dollars, even one of the main cast said one of the most memorable part is the humilia-tion. I think one of the reasons why this movie is bad is because it was trying to be something it's not and FAILED. It tried to change Italian plumbers in a fantasy mushroom land to a sci-fi dinosaur fight-er from Brooklyn. It has almost nothing to do with the series, not to mention the awful effects, but that's for another time.

Now let's look at another, shall we.

Tomb Raider the movie scored 19% on rotten tomatoes. Yes, Angelina Jolie is a perfect actress to play Lara Croft, but she couldn't save this movie. It doesn't have any plot at all it just goes from place to place with almost no reason and no rhyme and a lot of slowmo, seriously.

I personally think those are my problems, but words from a famous YouTube said “It's better when it's your adventure. It's funnier than see-ing a rolled out version of choices you didn't make. Those choices and the magic of playing a game and when you're watching it, it's not as fun as playing the game. And the fun and imagination you felt playing the game.”

Selena Gomez

By Marya Abdullah

Selena Gomez is a singer and a actor. To me Selena Gomez is the best pop star ever and she gives me the courage to do lots of things especially after hearing her music and watching her movies. For example, “ Wizard of Waverly Place,” is one of my favorite movies. Plus there are different movies that Selena Gomez is in and I love them and it's hard for me to pick which one I like more. Selena Gomez’s best friend use to be Demi Lovato but now Demi Lovato has a new best friend and so does Selena. Selena Gomez’s best friend now is Taylor Swift. Selena sang the song “Same Old Love,” for anyone that lost someone they love.

Supergirl

By: Daliah Almaklani

By day she is Kara Danvers, assistant to Kat Grant, the queen of media. By night she is Supergirl, flying around National City saving lives. Kara works with the DEO (Department of Extranormal Operations) with her adopted sister Alex. Kara was sent to earth to watch over her cousin Clark Kent (aka Superman). Her pod to earth got knocked off course and by time she got to earth, Clark already became Superman.

Kara kept her powers hidden until one day she was forced to use her powers to save a crashing plane. Now Supergirl is a worldwide phenomenon. Kara also has some friends like Wayne and Jimmy. They help Kara at

work and with her powers. Kara isn’t loved by eve-ryone, there are still people that don’t like her and are afraid. Kara’s Kryptonian name is Kara Zor El. She has spent all her life on earth, but she still sticks to her Kryptonian roots. Kara is as great as her cousin maybe even better. Kara has a hard life working for Kat Grant. The Queen of Media has high demand and her assistant has to meet those demands. Ka-ra is, in fact Supergirl, so she can handle it. You can see Kara juggle it all on the show, Supergirl, Monday nights at 8:00 on CBS.

Detroit Tigers Offseason Acquisitions

By Tyler Berry

As we all know, our very own Detroit Tigers have lots of talent. But, it seemed that last year they didn’t want to use it. Well, I predict this year will be an amazing year. First off, let’s talk about a pretty unexpected free agent signing. In the offseason, the Tigers signed OF Justin Upton to a whopping 6 year, 132.75 million dollar contract. That’s an estimated 22.25 million a year. Upton will definitely bring some power and skill to the team.

They have also made some trades as well. Here are some of those trades; the Tigers traded two LHP for CF Cameron Maybin from the Atlanta Braves. They also traded two RHP for one LHP with the Yankees. The latest trade that they have made was with the Los Angeles Angels. They traded 3B Jefry Marte for 2B Kody Eaves.

All of these trades, in my opinion, sound like they could really help the ball club win their first World Series since 1984. Hopefully I’m correct about this, because it’s finally time for the Tigers to shine bright.

Spells From Harry Potter By: Jenna Kobeissi

If you are wondering about the various spells that are cast in Harry Potter, you have stumbled upon the right article. In this article, you will be taught when you would learn these spells if you went to Hogwarts, and what would happen to the victim of your spell.

- Expelliarmus: The most basic spell in the book that you would learn in your first year at Hogwarts. this spell is used to send your opponent flying backwards and knocking their wand out of their hand.

- Wingardium Leviosa: This spell is slightly more challenging than Expelliarmus, it would be taught to you at the end of your first year, and used throughout your second year. This spell is used to levitate things. Make sure you clearly pronounce the O in Leviosa.

- Obliviate:This spell is used to erase one’s memory. You point your wand at the person you wish to give amnesia, and yell Obliviate! Your “lab rat” will instantly forget who they are and where they are.

-Expecto Patronum: This spell is very complex. It is used to make dementors leave the area they are at. You must think of a really happy thought and scream Expecto Patronum.

THE 3 MOST UNFORGIVABLE CURSES

Now, I must tell you that these curses are the most dan-gerous and dark spells you will ever hear about in your life. Using one of these spells can be punishable by death. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic does not let me tell you how to cast any of these spells because of their levels of danger.

Voldemort performing Avada Kedavra.

-Avada Kedavra: This spell does simply one thing, it kills whoever it strikes.

-Crucio: This spell puts whoever it is cast upon through excruciating pain until the curse is lifted.

-Imperio: This spell lets you control anyone that you cast it upon. You can move them around and make them say things.

Top 5 iTunes Songs

By: Zeinab Hamadi

Let’s take a look at the top 5 iTunes

songs. I’d imagine you being quite surprised

because I’m not going to lie, I sure

am. Considering I have no idea what the first

one is. But, let’s begin.

To begin with, the first song is called

“Summer Sixteen,” by Drake. I don’t know that

song but it’s probably pretty good to be top ranked. You should definitely

try it out.

Next, “Pillow Talk,” by Zayn Malik. It is such an amazing song, it

should’ve been first. He has left One Direction and still became success-

ful. I’m very happy for him and still absolutely love his songs.

After that, “My House,” by Flo Rida. That song is literally my life. It’s

so fun and groovy. Every time it comes on the radio, I jam out and have

fun.

Guess what’s next? That’s right, it’s “Work,” by Rihanna. I don’t like

this song or how Rihanna sings at all. So, moving on.

This is a famous musical.ly song called “Stressed Out,” by 21 Pi-

lots. I’ll tell you what musical.ly is in my next article. 21 Pilots is life.

That was my opinion and the list of the top 5 iTunes

songs. I hope it successfully impacted your life.

Melanie Martinez {AKA} Cry Baby

by Rheyann Elhady and Malak Alataby

Melanie Martinez is a singer, she went on The Voice to start her career, the judges loved her except one who wasn't a fan known as Christina Aguilera. Mela-nie got pretty far in the competition before Christiana got her voted off. She moved on and made her own music like her songs: Tag You’re It, Alphabet Boy,

and much more. She says she is a character named Cry Baby, and her songs are related to her life, for example Alphabet Boy and Carousel is about her ex, Vinnie, who thinks he’s better and smarter than her, and he brags about his degree. Cry Baby proves she is just as smart as him, if not smarter. She already made an album called Cry Baby. Which is on sale so you could get it on Itunes. Also Melanie is going to have an upcoming worldwide tour!!! The closest one to Michigan is Chi-cago, Illinois, and if you do go I’ll see you there!!

Shadowhunters

By Lara Zerkdi

Spoilers Shadowhunters is a tv

show adaptation from the book

series The Mortal Instruments.

The Mortal Instruments is about a

sixteen year old girl named Clary

Fray (Fairchild) who find out she’s

a part of an ancient race of de-

mon hunters called Shadowhunters. She meets Jace Wayland and he helps her even

though he doesn’t want to but later starts to slowly fall in love with her even though his

father taught him that “to love is to destroy.”

That’s why Jace tries to cover up his emotions with sarcasm and sass but after

Jace’s father dies, when he was ten and goes to live with the Lightwoods (Alec, Isa-

belle, Max, Maryse, and Robert). Alec and Jace become Parabatai, which mean they

are basically brothers, but Alec falls in love with Jace, that why he dislikes Clary so

much.

In the show Jace is sort of a Edward Cullen, from The Twilight movie, he was so dra-

matic and I don’t know why he felt that he need to hold her hand in a two feet walk. Isa-

belle was a lot nicer and didn’t have that sarcasm like Jace did in the books but Cas-

sandra (author of the series) said that Isabelle doesn’t know about her father's affair in

the show so she doesn’t hate all men and think they’re pigs. Magnus, The High Warlock

of Brooklyn, who in all his 800 years he has never ran from anyone or anything beside

his father and that was a long time ago but in the show Valentine threatens to come kill

every warlock but then Clary’s mother is awake and he just picks up and leaves? No.

Magnus throw another party and if you tried to kill him, bye your dead.

Why Arzaylea really gets hate

By:Kawthar Alethary

We (the 5sos fans that don’t like Arzaylea,) don’t hate her because she is dating Luke like some people are thinking. We don’t like her because she is, with evidence, a bad influence. Many people try to compare her to Bryana Holly (Ashton Irwins girlfriend) but they are nothing alike. I’m not going to act like I know everything about Ar-zaylea because I don’t know her per-

sonally, but she shows off the fact that she is dating Luke, she takes videos of Luke doing cute things such as singing to her, her squishing his face, and just doing cute couple things that everyone wishes they could do with him and sends them to fans. She also tweets about how the hate gives her anxiety. You shouldn’t breakup with your, now ex

boyfriend (Bryan) that looks like he was crafted by the gods, to date someone famous if you “have anxiety.”

One is for sure going to get hate, especially if you’re dating someone famous. So why risk having anxiety attacks? Another thing that bothers me and the fans that hate Arzaylea, is that the people who do like her and or are forcing themselves to like her are saying that she “saved their life” and “she inspires them.” I don’t know about anyone else but the only thing she inspires me to do is go clubbing and partying every night. Don’t believe me, find her on snapchat, she takes videos literally every day, if not then she tweets about it, or she’s caught by paparazzi.

ALL ABOUT MR. HOOL By: Huda Elnemr

Besides his obsession with superheroes, Mr. Hool is ac-tually very interesting. FYI, if you’ve been wondering whether Mr. Hool likes Superman or Batman better, he prefers Bat-man, but just by a little bit.

You all know the crazy superhero-loving fanatic, but do you know who Mr. Hool is outside of school? For example, his hobbies are reading, drawing, and collecting different things. To be specific; he collects comic books and superhero stat-ues/action figures. Moving forward, I asked Mr. Hool, ‘’If you got the chance to play the role of a superhero who would you pick,’’ and he picked Wolverine. He likes Wolverine’s hair and claws. To add on, the most em-barrassing thing he has done in his life is when he had to walk through Levagood Park with only un-derwear on when he was 5 or 6. Additionally, if there was one thing Mr. Hool would change about himself, it would be that he would like to be muscular like the Hulk (#GoodLuck). Mr. Hool has very funny kids named Cal and Lily. The funniest thing Cal has ever done is poop in the bathtub while taking a bath. The funniest thing Lily has ever done is when Lily and Mr. Hool were

playing hide and seek. Lily kept calling, “Daddy! Daddy!” but he thought that she wasn’t really trying to find him, so he ignored it. After she kept calling he answered her and she says, “I pooped my pants.”

Furthermore, Mr. Hool loves the staff that he works with at Stout. What he loves about Mrs. Ditmar is the extent that she goes to help students become successful. To add, what Mr. Hool truly likes about Mr. Haddad is how good looking he feels when stand-ing next to him (LOL!). For a guy who has sport team flags and posters all over his classroom,

you might be wondering what his favorite NBA and NFL teams are. His favorite NBA team is the Detroit Pis-tons and his favorite NFL team is the Detroit Lions. Finally, Mr. Hool has a very specific favorite ice cream flavor. Mr. Hool loves the cake batter ice cream with Snickers mixed in from Coldstone. Also, a food he would never get sick of eating is beef nachos with liquid cheese. Not to mention, his favorite candy is Chewy Sweetarts and his favorite candy bar is Snickers. Now you know about Mr. Hool, {thanks to me obviously} now you probably don’t have as many questions for him. By the way, Mr. Hool has this desk drawer filled with...I’ve already said too much.

Mr. Hool chilling with his homeboy, Buzz Lightyear.

Elmo + Mr. Hool = BFFs!

kicking it with their mascot, Homer!

Musical.ly

By: Zeinab Hamadi Musical.ly has been very famous since the school year has begun. Musical.ly is making lip-sync videos for fun. The best thing about Musical.ly is the music, the types of video types, and the filters.

First, Stressed Out is a really famous song, Along with, Low Key Flex, Lean And Dabb, RapGod2, and more. You should try out those songs. They are real-ly cool.

Next, the video types are quite interesting. First, epic is really slow. Then, there’s slo-mo. You know what that is. And of course nor-mal. The most popular one is fast. Finally, there’s lapse.

Last, the filters are the best part. There are a whole bunch of different col-ors and shades you could use. There is also reverse, time pause, etc.

I hope you get this app because it’s really fun to do on your free time.

Most Popular Games

By: Zeinab Hamadi

There are very many popular games on the app stores these days. That’s why I’m going to discuss a few that I think are the best which are Subway Surf, Candy Crush, and Colorify.

Subway Surf is awesome because it changes from time to time, it’s fun, and you get cool prizes at the end. To begin with, every month or so the theme changes and it gives it a new and cool look. Next, it’s fun to play when you’re bored. Finally, when you complete a certain task, you get a prize such as 100,000 coins.

Candy Crush is addicting, cool, and everlasting. It is addicting because once you crack the codes, you don’t stop until you win. It is cool because it’s so colorful and has fruit candy in it. The everlasting part is the levels are nonstop so you can play as long as your heart desires.

Colorify is relaxing, artistic, and soothing. Relaxation would not be relaxation without being able to color for free at any point in time you want. Next, if you aren’t artistic, no problem, all you do is simply tap and it fills in the lines. Soothing is also a word people use to describe colorify. It is very soothing as a matter of fact.

Now, I hope you download at least one of these apps. They are amazing and really cool. These are available on the apple store and the android app store too. Good Luck with trying these apps. Hope it’s a success!

Do You Like Scary Stories?

By: Haneen Ghafoor

I love scary stories. Do you? My personal favorite is called “Why did I take the night

shift?” This short short story was written by Haneen Ghafoor.

“Long ago, when I was still engaged, my fiancé was messing around in my stuff. I

yelled at her for it, until I looked into her red eyes and she sang me her favorite song, “Let

me be myself, set me free tonight, I will count to three and you will let me be, One pause two

pause -” I left. That song always creeped me out. I never really loved her, I only was in

love with her money. So one day she caught

me cheating on her and told me she was go-

ing to make me pay for what I have done. I

got really annoyed of her whining so I shot

her right in between her eyes. Her eyes

opened up and all I could see was her red

eyes fade away It did not really matter to me

because she could not do anything .The po-

lice then sent her corpse to my hospital for investigation. They left her in a morgue and

never took her out, which was kind of odd to me. So I asked why and never got a good

enough answer.

I was in my office at the hospital when my boss came in. I stood up.

“Hey Ross, I need you to work the night shift tonight.” He handed me an envelope.

I opened it and saw 100 thousand dollars in it. “It's your yearly payment.”

“Thanks,” I said as he walked out the door as silent as a mouse. I slumped down

into my chair, and continued my paperwork.

I heard everyone leave one by one until I was all alone. Once I finished my paper-

work, I grabbed my jacket and headed for the door when I saw the doorknob rattle. I

gasped. I didn't want to know who was behind the door but I opened it anyway…….to be

Opinion One Direction Getting Girlfriends (Harry Styles Edition)

By:Kawthar Alethary

All I have to say is Liam, stay home with your dogs! Many people forget

that One Direction are just normal human beings and can also

have love lives. Many girls who used to like Taylor Swift don’t

like her anymore just because she dated Harry Styles. (in

fangirl accent) “Oh my god she’s not good for him, I think

she’s just using him,” and such. Well guess what? No one

cares what you think, that is called jealousy. I’ll be honest and

say that I didn't like Taylor swift and Harry Styles (Haylor) together, but I

never liked her since day one so that’s different. But even then, I didn't

send her death threats like some fans are doing. You shouldn’t be acting

like a swifter and then all the sudden make a hate page just because you’re

jealous.

Harry has had many other girlfriends and all of them got

hate because fans feel like the girls are a bad influence

when they don’t even know them personally. I don’t mean

to bash my own fandom and be rude, but all I’m saying is

that fans need to calm down with the death threats and not hate every time

their idol gets a girl/guy friend and at least try to like the person before au-

tomatically hating them.

Quick 1D note: The boys were shooting the music video for Infinity, let’s cross our fingers and hope it comes out soon!

How to make Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

By: Daliah Almaklani

Who doesn’t love a good chocolate chip cookie? Even better, cookies with Nutella in them!

Today I’m going to tell you how to make Nutella chocolate chip cookies. Let’s get started.

Ingredients

First, you will need 2 cups of flour

1 tsp of baking soda

½ a cup of butter

⅔ a cup of sugar

½ a cup of brown sugar

2 large eggs, l tsp of vanilla

1 cup of chocolate chips and of course ½ cup of Nutella.

Instructions

First, you preheat the oven to 350

degrees. After that beat the butter

and sugar till it is light and fluffy

then add the eggs and vanilla and

mix until it is well combined.

Moving on, put the baking soda

and flour into a bowl and mix it up.

After you are done mixing slowly,

add the wet ingredients along with

the chocolate chips.

After that, scoop up a large spoonful of dough and flatten it in your hands. Make sure your

hands are very clean before you even start baking. While you are flattening the dough take

some Nutella and add it into the middle of the dough. Then fold the dough back up so it seals

the Nutella entirely.

Finally, put the cookies into the oven and bake them for 10-14 minutes or until the edges or

nice and brown. After they are done baking let them cool down for a couple of minutes and

then you can enjoy your delicious Nutella chocolate chip cookies.

The Ships

By: Hailey Arfan

If you are apart of any type of fandom you would know exact-ly what a ship is. And if you don’t know what a ship is…. well there’s something called google and you can figure it out because

it’s too hard for me to ex-plain. There’s also an OTP. An OTP is a ‘One True Pair-ing” And it pertains to a cou-ple that you think truly should be together (like Lar-ry Stylinson.) There are ships in almost every fandom, and if there aren’t any in a fan-dom…. well that’s just sad.

The most famous fandom that is mostly known for their ships is the One Direction fandom. Yes okay you guys are proba-bly all mentally groaning but shush and keep on reading. For starters, the ships are:

Larry, Lilo, Narry, Ziam, Ziall, Lirrry, Niam, Zarry, and Nouis. And those are just the ships between the boys. The other ships are; Haylor, Hara, Payzer, Sophiam, Hendall, Elounor, Louinelle, and more but they aren’t that important because Larry is the best. And, if you want some clarification about who are the two people in these ships are… well, once again there’s something called

google and you can figure it out. There are ships in many other fandoms but those fandoms aren’t as important as the One Direction fandom (well…. ex-cept the Harry Potter fandom because)

There are also many other ships that aren’t only in the fan-doms. One of the most popular non-fandom related ships is Cake. Kendall Jenner, and Cara Delevingne. There are also youtuber ships. Troyler, Phan, Tronner, Shoey, Twaimz and a llamaa, and many more. so, who’s your ship?
